[Eeglablist] The number of the ICA components is smaller than the number of channels.

[David Post]

Hello Hui,

I believe the problem you are experiencing is due to the fact that your data
has 39 channels, and in your code you use the option 'chanind' and set the
channels to 2:63.  You might fix your problem by instead using the command:

*EEG = pop_runica(EEG, 'icatype', 'runica', 'chanind', 1:39, 'extended', 1);
*

Regards,
David
